The recent Team MULISA mission to Uganda successfully advanced the development of mHealth-enabled User-friendly Light-based Stroke Screening and Assessment (MULISA) technologies designed for children with sickle cell disease. Through collaborative pilot studies conducted at Mulago National Referral Hospital, Atutur General Hospital, and Kumi University, researchers secured high-quality data on cerebral oxygenation and blood flow, validating the efficacy of these non-invasive screening tools. Beyond clinical data collection, the initiative emphasized local capacity building through technical workshops for university students, fostering a sustainable foundation for future innovation. This cross-institutional progress highlights a powerful commitment to global health equity and the successful integration of accessible technology within the Ugandan healthcare landscape.

During their second mission to the Kumi district, Team MULISA filmed a compelling documentary following a local TikToker who uses digital storytelling to highlight families affected by Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Produced in the Teso language, the film captures the mental health challenges and profound resilience of caregivers, bridging the gap between rural life and global health advocacy. As the project enters post-production—focusing on color grading and a high-impact trailer—it prepares for a campaign targeting Academy Award-qualifying festivals. This evolved narrative work leverages the team's expertise to address a critical public health crisis for a worldwide audience.
